Happy happy happy! Its White History Month again folks it felt like it was never going to get here but its time to celebrate once again. Strap on youre boat shoes, put on some vinyl and brag about your sexlife with your wife because this is YOUR month!!!

Today were celebrating a very important figure in White History- Riley Cooper.

Riley crashed last years White History month festvities on the last day of celebration. Thats right on July 31st the alleged video of a Cooper lookalike (its a possible. Think about it.) emerged that showed him telling some offcolor jokes about maybe assaulting a nosey security guard. It was pretty clear that Cooper was steamed for being left off the docket in 2013 White History Month so Im repsonding by giving him the opening Tuesday timeslot. Cooper earned it through hardwork and being the least racist White Receiver to scream racial epithets at a country music festival all year.

“The Life of Riley:”

Riley was born in in Oklahoma, overcoming a SIGNIFICANT amount of oppresson in his childhood since he was a White child in a state that literally means “Red People,,” Riley was able to respond to the systemic adversity that White people face nowdays by benig raised in states that are so bad that they named after people that they relocated there so Whites could take the good parts of the US like Florida.

Riley excersised his birthright though and quickly moved to our homeland of Clearwater Florida where he would go on to excell in Football at the University of Florida under Head Coach Suburban Meyer. He was roomates with Tim Tebow at Florida where the two of them became known as the Bible Brothers probably. Miami had the 7th floor crew well guess what, Florida had the 7th Heaven crew.

After lighting up the score board and our hearts at UF, Cooper was picked in the 5th round by the Phildelphia Eagles. He had to work his way off the bench because he was stuck behind DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin- 2 highlight players that do less between the hashmarks then they do between there ears, no offense.

Of course all every one wants to talk about is Coopers alleged run-in with a power-tripping security guard. I noticed on his Wikpedia page that Cooper doesnt have any mention what so ever about Chesney-gate 2013 so I looked up the edting history where mention of the incident has been scrubbed multiple times over the years. I apprecate this guys overall attitude towards what is and isnt news though.

Damn right. Nonetheless I check out the history of this post and their were numberous attempts to vandalize the page by putting the video on it so I figured Id clear Rileys name by adding my own contributon.

Lets all remember that this “incident” just happen to of happen of the very LAST day of White History Month last year which the timing is just so dang fishy that its hard to even beleve. This seems like a bit of tunrabout for all the times when White folks used to tell Black folks that electon day was on Febuary 29th the last day of Black History Month as a prank. I’ll admit you got us back good on that one. Fairs fair even Stevens.

You cant tell the story of Smiley Riley without telling the story of White Receivers as a whole. White receivers have been maligned for the past 20 years it seems like, and I DONT mean that they line up wrong on purpose like your Titus Youngs or your Jimmy Grahams looking for their next contracts. Theyve been gradually phased out of the air attack since the game changed from having the WR/CB matchup shift from essentially a Greco-Roman wrestling contest to a And 1 mix-tape style alley oop-a-thon.

Cooper is at the forefront of a new age of receivers that is giving hope to a generation of White youngsters who all have the dream of growing up in a society that judges them not by the color of there reflective visor and compression sleeves, but rather by the content of there lunchpail.

As if overcoming the adversity of being White wasnt enough, Cooper was forced to overcome the media feeding frenzy that ocurred after his quotes were taken out of context. Cooper did this bravley by sitting out camp for a week and then coming back and playing football again.

Riley is a great example of how to deal with unfair treatment for all of America. In the spirit of personal accountability I WILL say that you should never say the word the Cooper said but that the same time you have to admit that the word doesnt realy matter anymore in my opinion.

So our hats off to you Mr. Cooper. He truly embodys every thing that White History Month is about: Growing your hair out long, using a racial slur at a country music festvial, and then getting for giveness immediately. And to the rest of you out there Happy White History Month. Make sure to educate you’re friends and neighbors. God bless.

Quick cue Lee Greenwood’s proud to be an American. Amazing that PK, ESPN and any other media outlet will never let Chad Johnson, TO, Randy Moss or any other “uppity” receiver live down past sins, but Whitey I mean Riley Cooper? Shit we need to all move on and let it go. I hope Bernard Pollard remembers when the Eagles play the Titans this year.

Uh Jay the point is second chances. Yeah you’re right insulting a league where 75% of the labor is African American and disparaging teammates is not the same as running a dog fighting business. Vick was deemed unworthy of redemption while Cooper was given a pass. Stop the bullshit.

cbque: correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t Vick been employed the past several years making a nice paycheck? how is that not a second chance (for the record he served his time and should not be denied employment in my opinion)?
and can you even count the number of wife beaters that have gotten a second chance?
don’t forget the couple of players that killed a person while DUI.
but i guess if you ignore all that, you’re right, no black player ever got a second chance

Hey Nat can you count the number of self righteous assholes who wanted to deny Vick his second chance? That was the point asshat. As for the white vs. black argument if you want to go there, cool. James Harrison uses a gay slur and is fined and criticized. Riley Cooper does the same, gets three days off and then the sympathy roles in. No official action from the league. A league that will fine you for wearing a jersey out or ripping replacement officials but insult 75% of it’s work force and he’s the victim. Yeah your right Riley’s suffered enough.

cbque: what harrison said was much much worse… no comparison. what cooper said is a term used by blacks to each other— i don’t know why that’s a problem.. cooper was probably just trying to fit in with the 75% of the nfl players that are black. the real problem is the backlash cooper got for adopting black lingo.

Nat: You must be a special kind of stupid. What in the hell makes you think that black americans are comfortable with the way that word has been used by us? Tell that to the people who rode and marched in the 60’s. Stop trying to rationalize the way Riley Cooper used the word and was treated afterwards. It was not equal punishment.

cbque: why would black americans use a word and then resent it’s use by anybody else. that sounds like they’re trying to create a “blacks only” kind of society… or “no whites”. why would blacks choose to discriminate? if a word or action is ok for a black to use, it’s racist not to let others use it.
boy, blacks being racist like this really makes me angry.

Boom, you have got to love his white work ethic, it was probly handed down to him for generation after generation, even from the guys who fought and died in the civil war for the blacks before we gave everybody running water and electricity.

and if Cooper were black he’d get preferential admission to colleges and grad schools. preference in govt contracts. tons of scholarships based not on merit but on the color of his skin. Where is MLK when we need him

Yeah, if only Martin Luther King had been alive when affirmative action was introduced in the 1960s, then we’d be able to get his opinion on it.

Oh, wait:

Playboy [interviewer Alex Haley]: Do you feel it’s fair to request a multibillion-dollar program of preferential treatment for the Negro, or for any other minority group?

King: I do indeed. Can any fair-minded citizen deny that the Negro has been deprived? Few people reflect that for two centuries the Negro was enslaved, and robbed of any wages—potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America’s wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro; it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races.

Within common law, we have ample precedents for special compensatory programs, which are regarded as settlements. American Indians are still being paid for land in a settlement manner. Is not two centuries of labor, which helped to build this country, as real a commodity? Many other easily applicable precedents are readily at hand: our child labor laws, social security, unemployment compensation, man-power retraining programs. And you will remember that America adopted a policy of special treatment for her millions of veterans after the War—a program which cost far more than a policy of preferential treatment to rehabilitate the traditionally disadvantaged Negro would cost today.

“Whenever the issue of compensatory treatment for the Negro is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree; but he should ask nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but it is not realistic.”

maybe reparations should be paid to blacks by their african cousins who sold their brothers/sisters to europeans….. oh right, it was a small boatload of portuguese who stole every single slave….. the africans themselves were never complicit

What’s impressive? The way Nat pretended like he didn’t just get royally humiliated?

Or the way Nat decided just changed the subject to something else where he looks *just* as stupid? Because he thinks all that matters with slavery is how they got on the boat? Sure, once they were on our shores, we just had no choice but to enslave them and then treat their ancestors as second class citizens for a century.

As someone who has three relatives who work in admissions for three of the most prominent schools in the country I can tell you that’s bullshit. But hey if it makes you feel better believe what you want.

Otto is impressive with the big facts from humanities class at the ready all the time…way to go dog.

CB, if white chicks benefit, why is it that the biggest lawsuit on all this shit was brought by a white chick trying to get into Michigan? Outlier? You certainly can’t say that diversity isn’t a primary goal of universities…

Affirmative Action: Or, “Im a lazy cunt, gimme gimme gimme”. Also MLK made a false comparison with the Natives, they were colonised and wiped out in their own land, they have nowhere to go, anyone wanting AA can fuck off to Liberia and start their AA in their own country.

Koogler: think how hard europeans had to work to save up for their passage over he atlantic… good work ethic and delayed gratification.
instead, blacks just had to make sure their cousins selling them got paid by the cruise line ferrying them over. So the blacks got a free berth and their brothers/sisters/cousins actually got paid.
white’s paying for blacks luxuries again.

moose: man, look at that, they got to lie down the whole time!!!!!! free passage and a full reclining seat. thats pretty nice, not sure singapore airline’s first class is that good.
the black free loaders cousins should have charged the europeans more when they sold their relatives.

I’m going up to Maine to go to a novelty diner and order up a mayo and white American cheese sandwich on white bread, heaping side of mashed potatoes, tall glass of milk. I will then write them a check with the tip written into the check of course. Then as I hop in my Prius, cranking up the local independent radio station’s double shot of Third Eye Blind, I will pull off into the nearest Whole Foods to grab some non-GMO fiber bars and independently owned brewed beer.

Hey Nat. Bush Govenor of a state with lowest national test scores, 3rd highest unemployment, 2nd in teen pregnacy and last in median income. Only thing Texas led the nation in during his term were executions, toxic emmissions children without health insurance. I can do this all day.

moose: so no credit that unemployment decreased? but full blame if it had increased.
btw: in almost every instance:
blue states have higher taxes, higher unemployment, higher poverty rates and lower economic growth than red states.
what is better: keeping people in a dependent states creating a permanent underclass? or increasing employment and living standards with economic growth? I’m pretty sure you’ll answer like most democrats— keep a dependent voting block in a serf like state.
